To answer my own question - it turned out that the account
I imported to was of type "Income". Once I changed it to
"Bank" account the sign turned correctly to positive.

The account was assigned this type when I created the accounts
hierarchy using GnuCash's wizard. I suspect this is a bug on
GnuCash that such an account is marked as Income.

Should I report this somewere?

Thanks,
